| Facilities / Terms of Lease:
The business runs from a 10,000 sq.ft industrial unit in the North East. There is a large production area on the ground floor which has racking for storage purposes together with canteen and toilet block. There are offices, on the mezzanine floor above, with a secondary area which is used for storage and sewing production. The mezzanine floor measures circa 5,000 sq.ft making approx. 15,000 sq.ft. total floor space. There is a yard outside the building with ample parking. Within the building there are two offices which are currently rented out at £120 per week. This income can be on going if desired
The lease on the premises is negotiable with the owners and there is also the possibility to purchase the freehold if required. The property has been recently valued at £340,000. Rent is circa £20,000 p.a with rates of £7,100 p.a. Outside there is room for expansion of the workshop/building with circa 1.8 acres of building land within the perimeter fencing.
The premises are fully secured with the yard fenced off. And roller shutter doors on the outside of the building. |

| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
The company has spare capacity in the factory, and there remains scope for an increase in production to bring in further turnover and profits.
The owners have maintained the business at a level that is comfortably manageable to them based on the current infrastructure, but believe the business, with the right new owners, can very quickly increase its turnover. There is an opportunity to employ either a sales team or sales agents to drive the business forward. There are also gaps in the market to supply larger retail chains in the UK, together with Export opportunities.
The company has an active web-site, but there is no major marketing or advertising budget. They obtain the majority their business from their regular customers and by word of mouth recommendation. A small amount of investment in a sales drive would immediately reap rewards with the high quality product and service which is provided. |
